I know about some images of violence that many parents are forced to see. These images, are the images of their son’s or daughter’s shot and killed laying exposed on the ground or covered in the street by a sheet. These are the images that will forever stay in their minds, the images of the child they raised lying deceased on the ground. For some unknown reason their child was shot and killed. There are times in the process of discover when parent wants to know how their child died.
I don’t know how some parents could even sleep, after receiving the news that their child was shot multiple times and killed. The images in their minds of all the bullet holes in the body of their child. The thought of your child suffering before they died, sends all sorts of images racing through your minds. These are images that will forever be their, stored in the memory banks of their minds and they will resurrect from time to time because they will never go away they are always there.
How can some people say I know how how you feel, when they have never gone to identify the body of their deceased child. Have they ever gone to the coroners office to identify their son or daughter on a steel gurneys in a cold, cold room?
Have they ever gone to a morgue or a Hospital to identify the body of their slain child?
Can you imagine having to identify your child that may have been stored in a freezer. These are some of the images that are forever left behind in the minds of the parents .But some people in an attempt to relate say “I know how you feel: but they have not come face to face, with the loss a child to gun violence.
How could they have known how you felt when you went to the corner’s and the corner raises a blinds to reveal a private room with your deceased child’s lifeless body on the other side. Far to often this is the end result, our young children are dying long before they become adults. Every thing in nature says it should not happen this way, but It’s happening this way each and every day.
It should happen the other way around the parents living too get old, and our children should be the ones that are identifying us, from behind a blinds, or under a sheet.
No parent should ever have to identify their child’s lifeless body from a cold,cold room.
To the young men and women out their i hope you take this to heart, your mothers and fathers loves you more than any gang member ever could.
If you have heard me; save your parents some grief. Stop looking for love by being beaten up and jumped into a gang, there is genuine love right before your eyes. I have kept this very real in hopes that you will understand, when someone says to you HEY MAN LET’S DO THIS OR THAT, HAVE THE PRESENCE OF MIND TO SAY NO MAN I DON’T DO THAT.
How can they know how you feel? When they have never had to make the identification of their own deceased child. The reality of it all becomes very clear when the parents understood that their child was no longer here. They find themselves looking at their child who was alive a short time ago, and these parent knew their child would not be walking out through the door. He or she would not be going home with them, this is the end now on earth. Their child is lying lifeless on a table with bullets wounds or bullet holes all over their body. This is a Tribute to the Family of Adein McClendon, his brother Xavier Glen Jr. and the families that have lost a family member to gun violence .
